Improving Reading Comprehension?

We Answered:

It will take longer, but it might help if you read it out loud to yourself. You might be an auditory learner. You also have to have no distractions so you are concentrating.
Personally, I have to read important things more than once in order to remember them.
(comprehension is actually understanding what you read. you have a short term memory problem, I would guess. the label is not as important as learning to improve it. you might want to research memory strategies.)

tips on improving Reading Comprehension skills?

We Answered:

I'm a student, and I have poor reading comprehension in the past too. It affected my study quite a lot. Since reading occupies quite a lot of my time every day, I've decided to find some way to improve my reading skills. Finally, I followed some speed reading course and it worked very well. Now I do much better in my study, and it saved me quite a lot of time too.

So I'll suggest you to look for some speed reading course to learn with, it is the formal way to improve reading comprehension and reading skills. You must practice with some tools provided in course, or it could be quite difficult to pick up those skills.

I can recommend the course that I've used for your reference too. I chose it at that time because it has quite a lot of good user feedback, and it is affordable. And it covers reading comprehension, reading speed, and memorization skills. There is also a website which tells how to get the best out of the course, and it guides me to choose the online version of the course. I put the links here for you to check them yourself.

Techniques for improving reading comprehension?

We Answered:

Preview the material you are assigned to read.

Try to identify the author's main point or points.

As you are reading, when a detail come up, subject it to a mental test:
"Does this support the author's main point(s)."

After you have finished reading the selection, re-consider your initial hypothesis about the author's purpose. Did the details you noted support his purpose?

If they did, you are probably in good shape.

If they did not, re-assess the author's main point/purpose, then scan back through the selection looking for details that support what you believe to be the true main point.
